Preventing window from being ordered front

Hello,

we have a window with a tabview. The contents of one of the tabs is
drawn by another application (don't ask why, this is a very special
project trying to integrate heterogenous technologies). If the user
selects this special tab the other application is notified to draw its
stuff into a given rect on screen. As soon as another tab is clicked we
want to notify the other application to remove its stuff from screen.

This basically works. However, if we click anywhere on our window -
e.g. next to teh tabs - our window gets ordered front and covers the
output of the otehr application. Any idea how this can be prevented?
The tabs - selecting another tab - should work while the other app is
active. But the remaining of the visible parts of our window should be
dead while the other app runs and does its magic.

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

  Andreas
